lion 10 plOceed TO tno election OF CfncerB
and asked what had become OF 1t.
He was informed that there was q
substitute to swear in Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. kyne said that for years pact
members had bsen requested to bring
thoir deeds with them 10 show that they
were bonafide property owners, bat MIR.
Smith had failed 20 prod uce his, and ha
did not think that he was entitled to
any more courtasies than any other
member. He (Kyno) had been kept
out OF his teat for several weeks tor not
bringing his deed with him. Mr..
Smiths certificate was not sufficient
proof OF ownership anyhow. He IN
sisted upon proceeding with the elec.
tion OF officers, and thought the substi.
tute was out Of order.
Mr.. Palmer said he thought as much
|of Mr.. Smith as any one man could
think of another, but while he was q
warm personal friend he could not see
why the uaual rule shou d be departed
from In h,s case. He had not brought
his deed with him, and until he did 30
he was not entitled 70 q seat.
DIR. Shortidge stated that on foi mer
occasion he had made o motion, which
was adopted, that Mr.. Kyne be sworn
In rs o member of the board when he
had no deed to show that he WAS ep-
titled to mem bership.
Mr.. Baird stated that there was an
evident Misunderstanding on the snb.
iect. The In ~ required TINT mem Der
should be q freehOlder In the city al
leaet thirty days previous 10 his elec-
tion. L. said nothing about membsrs
bringing their deeds with them. II had
been the custom In years pact to have
deeds brought, but they were not GER
tain evidence OF ownership, as a man
| might easily show deed Of property
which he did not then own. As mat.
| ter of fact he knew that mem bers here.
tofore had been sworn In when they
produced no evidence Whatever that
they owned property. AL that was
necessary was that mem bers should ba
| satisfied that o m EN- ber elect WAS owner
of property, and when the member had
sworn that he owned tho property that
| was ~ far as the board need 60 in the
matter.
The chair stated that hs was not Ger.
tain that the substitute was strictly in
order, but lest he might be considered
lnrbitrary he entertained it.
